The band was brought to life in the summer of 1992 by David as a duo.
In Aeternum released two reh. demos of raw, evil black metal in -92 / -93,
Domini Inferi and The Ancient Kingdom. Both received enthusiastic responses
in the underground.
In the summer of -94 the band went through a series of line-up changes which
left David as the sole founding member. With a new skinbasher and bassist,
the revamped In Aeternum recorded a promo tape in -95 which remained mostly
unheard. Around this time In Aeternum began establishing themselves as a force
to be reconed with in the live front from -95 to -97 when the bass player left the band.
The remaining members (David, Paul) returned to the studio in August -97 to record
the now sold out MCD "And Darkness Came". Soon after the recording two new
members joined forces with the band, and a solid line-up was finally secured.
In October -98 In Aeternum recorded their debut album for the Necropolis horde,
"Forever Blasphemy" at studio Fredman.
The band take inspiration exclusively from darkness, death and the macabre.
Musically In Aeternum is inspired by the hatred and aggression of the early
years of thrash / death / black metal, forged in the same fire as such classic
cult acts as Mercyful Fate, Sodom, Destruction, Sabbat (England), Celtic Frost
and Possessed. The band is also of course dedicated to the utter destruction of
Jesus Christ and his followers.
The band has done a succesfull tour with Immortal and God Dethroned + several
festival dates wich went very well.
The band has recently released a 7inch picture disc as well as the LP version of
Forever Blasphemy. And are at the moment working on the next album to be
recorded in January at the Abyss studios together with Tommy Tägtgren.
The album was released in August the year 2000.
The title is THE PESTILENT PLAGUE, and feature 8 new tracks of total fucking
blasphemic metal of death.
The band also contributes with a song on the King Diamond tribute album,
namely Abigail.
Editor's comment: In the early days the band went under the name Behemoth but after the second demo they changed their name to In Aeternum.
